Unlike the general databases, literature (or any subject) specific databases generally focus solely on journal articles as a publication type and do not have a broad, multidisciplinary approach.
This database indexes about 1,700 arts and humanities journals. Dates of coverage: 1975 to present.
Adjust settings to expand your searching to include the Social Sciences Citation Index, the Science Citation Index, the Book Citation Index, and others.
General databases contain content from a variety of subject areas as well as a number of different publication types. They will allow you to look at your topic from a wide perspective.
Be sure to use the search refinements each database may offer, including: date, document type, and source type.
This usage works on most databases, but check 'Help' sections for supported search syntax.
art* (asterisk as truncation character) searches for art, arts, artistic, artful, etc.
m?n (question mark as wildcard character) searches for man and men.
